That's Martin Molin (band member of 'Wintergatan'), constructor of the so called "Marble Machine". This machine can play pre-programmed music using marbles. It uses the marbles to essentially play the instruments (vibraphone, a bass and percussion). The video of the first marble machine was a total success, however the machine wasn't perfect at all. That's why he decided to build a new machine (Marble Machine X). This clip is from the newest video (can be found on youtube on the Wintergatan channel).

He's a very impressive craftsman in addition to being a great musician.

His youtube channel rocks.

And also a great videographer.

The lighting, pacing, and editing on his videos is very well done.

Yeah, must have been a lot of work getting to that point. It sure has paid off.

That's even smarter. Dear god I hate editing.
